TRADITIONAL ENGLISH TRIFLE – THE PERFECT CHRISTMAS DESSERT
An English trifle is a quintessential dessert that has graced British tables for over four centuries. This decadent-looking treat is simply delicious and is often made with alcohol and sometimes with jelly (the British word for Jell-O). While the fruit and Jell-O are a must-have for some and a turn-off for others this is a stunningly beautiful dessert that will steal the show no matter the occasion.

Basically an English trifle requires ladyfingers or pound cake perhaps soaked in sherry but this is optional only if no children are being served. It also requires jelly (also known as Jell-O in the US) a thick layer of creamy custard and a thick layer of lightly whipped fresh cream. The rest is a matter of personal preference.
